This 10ZiG thin client is a neat unit. The label on the bottom of the unit identifies it as a 58xx. The seller had wiped the flash memory so I do not know which model in the range it actually was. Although similar in style, it is larger than the Clientron U700/U800 based thin clients that preceded it - as shown in the photo with the U800 based Dell FX170.
I'm not too sure when the series was released, but I found press releases for the 5818v (April 2013) and the 5848c (April 2014). (The 10ZiG website is one of those very much founded in the present. There's very little there about past products. Google has also failed to find me any sort of datasheet on the 58xx series). I couldn't find any date of manufacture on the label.
There is some information about the current 58xxq series - the 'q' indicating a quad core processor - but very little about the dual core 58xx series that preceded it.

Thanks to the dearth of information on the 58xx I'm uncertain about exact model numbers and full specifications. However, using the 'wayback machine', I tracked down mention of:
Model OS RAM (std/max) Storage 5872v Linux 1GB/4GB 1GB/2GB 5817v WES7 2GB/4GB 16GB/64GB 5818v WE8 2GB/4GB 16GB/64GB
I have (April 2018) got hold of a 5848C which, in the April 2014 press release, was billed as a 'Citrix Ready Zero Client'. The OS is Linux and it came with 1GB of flash and 1GB of RAM.
The unit requires a 12V supply and uses a conventional 5.5mm/2.1mm coax connector. The 'D' version of the CPU does not include Intel's speed step technology and so the power consumption doesn't really change with workload.
Having booted Tinycore, /proc/cpuinfo shows:

As usual, clicking on the photo (right) will take you to a larger scale photos of the circuit board.
The case is fairly compact in size so there is little space to fit anything internally.
Flash: The Flash memory is replaceable. It's a DOM plugged into a 22-pin SATA connector connector. The disassembly instructions show you how to access it. The NM10 datasheet tells me it is a SATA II port. The actual 16GB SATA DOM is an Innodisk SATA Slim 3MG-P.
RAM: The RAM is a conventional DDR3 SODIMM plugged into a socket fitted on the top of the board. The fitted 204-pin SODIMM was a 2GB Aplus Technology part A+NDD31066-2G. This is a DDR3 1066MHz PC3-8500 part. I also tried out a 4GB PC3L part (4GB 1Rx8 PC3L-12800S-11-12-B4) from Nanya that worked, so both types are supported.
USB: There are two USB sockets on the front panel, two on the rear, and one in a concealed panel on the top of the unit. In the absence of a datasheet I don't know if any of them are to the USB 3.0 standard, but the Linux lsusb command only produces mention of 2.0 and 1.1 root hubs.
Mini PCI: There is an internal mini PCI socket where you could fit a wireless card. You can see from the photos below that it's not the easiest to access.
SATA: There is another on-board SATA socket with a power socket next to it. The pin furthest from the SATA socket carries +5V.
Other: If you remove the front panel you'll find a connector (CN10) behind the Mini PCI socket. I have no idea what it is for. Similarly there is a strip line connector (J4) on the edge of the board.

The Mini PCIe connector. This at the top and partially under the side panel. Anything
inserted here mounts above the backup battery.
A view looking vertically down on to the board where the mini-PCIE connector is. The connector J4
can be seen to the right just behind the USB connector.
